Built by HTC, the Google Pixel 2 retains the attractive aluminium and glass design of its predecessor. Google Pixel 2 also boasts textured feel that makes it fit well into the hand with minimal worry about it slipping off. With an IP67 rating, here is a device that reduces concerns over damage by water and dust.
This is a 5-incher featuring an AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass protection 5. You can sure expect sharp images with a Full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels to show. The display boasts 95% DCI-P3 coverage.
CameraGoogle is apparently not a party to the latest craze about dual lens rear camera setup. You get a 12.2MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture on the back of the Google Pixel 2. This completes with optical image optimisation (OIS), phase detection and laser autofocus, and dual-LED flash. Now, these are solid specs. DxOMark rates it the best smartphone right now for photography and video capturing with an all-time high score of 98!
The selfie shooter is no slacker either with a resolution of 8 megapixels. It shoots Full HD videos as well.
Hardware and SoftwareThe Google Pixel 2 should deliver zippy, enjoyable performance. It houses an octa-core Snapdragon 835 chipset with Kryo CPUs under the hood. This pairs with an Adreno 540 GPU and respectable 4 GB of RAM.
Onboard storage is ample at 64 GB or 128 GB, depending on the model you buy. However, there is no microSD card slot. You get good value in software as Google Pixel 2 ships with latest Android 8.0 Oreo OS. In addition, you will enjoy upgrades until Android R release.
Other FeaturesSomehow, the Google Pixel 2 comes with just a 2,700mAh battery. But this is not entirely bad when you consider the bigger iPhone X packs comparable juicer. It enjoys fast charging with a USB Type-C cable you get in the package.
Google Pixel 2 offers you front firing stereo speakers, something that is uncommon on smartphones. Its connectivity options include speedy dual-band Wi-Fi with Wi-Fi Direct and DLNA, Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC. Google Pixel 2 packs a fingerprint sensor on its rear.

It sports a metallic chassis with an alluring 3D ‘Diamond Fire Design’ for a premium touch. The edges are curvy and the overall profile is rather svelte at 7.9 millimetres.
Tecno Phantom 8 sports a 5.7-inch IPS display with Full HD resolution of 1,080 x 1,920 pixels. You may expect slightly sharper images than what the predecessor offered. There is robust Corning Gorilla Glass to protect against scratches.

Fashion Entrepreneur, Dencia has revealed that she became a millionaire when she stopped hanging with other millionaires.
Dencia wrote this on her Snapchat, added that no is going to help you become a millionaire especially if you are a woman.
She wrote:
People say “If you hang around 4 millionaires you will be the 5th one” ehm so explain all the millions of broke people who hang around with millionaires, i can name 100 off head. Success doesn’t work like that, success is by association.
I became a millionaire when i stopped hanging out with millionaires. FYI no one is helping you become a millionaire especially as a woman. Well the millionaires who were my friends(entertainers, athletes, Biz folks) didn’t help so have to go figure.

Jim Iyke has just surprised the world by revealing that he actually dated Rita Dominic and he also talked about why the relationship didn’t work out.
In a new interview with Broadway TV, Jim opened up on why his relationship with Rita Dominic didn’t lead to marriage.
He said:
Rita and I met when I was just beginning to embrace fame ,the comforts that came with it.The laurels and the distraction,even the destruction. And Rita is not the kind of woman that hangs around a groth. We were very deep with eachother. We still are great friends. As a matter of fact,it may surprise you that we haven’t spoken to each other in over two years. But when we meet,we are cordial ,respectful .
There is that deep rooted thing of a man or woman you shared something with .
I don’t think Rita at that time was looking at longevity, truthfully .Don’t forget,I was the kid with the crazy afro,ready to start a fight.
My life was around having a good time and as many conquests as possible .So,who wants that kind of guy?So this question is futuristic in a sense. Fastforward perhaps 10 years from now ,that question may have had dept or hold water.
He further said their relationship crashed due to his wild behavior and bad boy antics back then:
But then,what was there to hold on to?I mean,seriously ?I was partying like a crazy person.She tried to show me another life and say listen ‘there is so much more to you ” I promise you that Rita will not hang around with a lay about .I was uncontrollable. I think we have outgrown each other now .I would not see Rita as son one I wantto get involved with because so much layers of growth and evolvement have gone on in her life and so is mine .So place the same place and situation now,it may have worked.
